The night is as cool as water and the dense forest is secluded.
Looking at the rich ghostly aura and resentment around him, Chu Feng stood still and remained silent for a long time.
In his perception, it was not just ghost energy and resentment, but innocent lives, all of which died violently, and their corpses and souls were imprisoned here.
"Are they really the blood descendants of Monk Wu? But, what is the purpose of creating such a place of death near the imperial city?"
Chu Feng kept thinking in his mind, and looked towards the southwest. He saw the majestic imperial city, the mighty dragon aura, and his expression became cloudy and uncertain.
…
Kaibao Temple is not far from the Chu Mansion. Since the real old monk Wu did not intend to take action immediately, Chu Feng simply let Xiao Zi stay distracted to monitor at any time, and then returned to the mansion.
"The master is back."
At the door, Xiaoliu, who was dozing off, suddenly woke up, saw his master at a glance, and immediately stepped forward to greet him attentively.
"Yeah." Chu Feng nodded, walked straight to the door, and asked,
"Is there anything important going on in the house these days?"
"Yes." Xiao Liu followed closely behind and quickly replied,
"A few days ago, the Li Mansion next door sent someone over to invite the young master to be a guest. In addition, the master of Yunhuan Pavilion also sent someone to send an invitation."
"Yun Huan'er sent it, when did it happen?" Chu Feng's expression changed, he stopped and asked.
"Just yesterday." Xiao Liu was startled for a moment, then answered immediately, paused, and then continued,
"Pavilion Master Yun's invitation is at Sister Xiaocui's place."
"I understand, you go down and rest first."
Chu Feng waved his hand, sending the other party to leave, and then walked towards the back house again.
It was already late at night, and all the servants in the mansion had already rested. When Chu Feng entered his room, he saw Xiaocui sleeping soundly on the table alone, with a trace of crystal liquid at the corner of her mouth.
shed.
"This girl won't go back to her room."
Seeing the other party's embarrassment, Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh. He raised his arm and fired a burst of spiritual power. He saw purple light flashing around the other party, but he floated up and slowly flew down to the soft bed.
The whole process was extremely gentle, and the other party fell into a deep sleep again, and still didn't wake up until he was covered with a quilt.
At this time, Chu Feng just turned around and looked inside the room. Sure enough, there was an invitation placed on the table. In addition, there was also a letter of the other party's name attached. The workmanship was extremely exquisite.
"It seems that it has attracted that person's attention."
After picking up the two items, Chu Feng looked at them for a while and then put them down, with a faint smile in his eyes.
…
The next morning, the sun shone into the house.
Xiaocui rubbed her somewhat hazy eyes and woke up slowly. However, when she saw the environment she was in, she was stunned, and then she suddenly came to her senses the next moment.
"Ah, why did I sleep on the young master's bed?"
He sat up in shock, suddenly lifted up the quilt and jumped out of the bed. Only then did he realize that the clothes on his body were intact and there was nothing strange about him. As he felt relieved, he suddenly thought of something and suddenly started pounding.
, her pretty face turned even crimson.
"Did the young master come back last night?"
I suppressed the somewhat flustered thoughts in my heart and began to sort them out.
front yard hall,
While Chu Feng was drinking tea, he listened to Butler Zheng describe in detail the trivial things that had happened in the past few days. When he talked about the incident in the Li Mansion, he couldn't help but frown, and suddenly asked:
"What do you mean, you want me to come and visit?"
"I invite you to the banquet to thank you for saving the life of the daughter of the Li family. However, since you are not here that day, I have no choice but to shirk it for the time being." Butler Zheng explained in time, and suddenly asked,
"Young Master is returning today, do you want to send someone to inform him?"
"No need."
Chu Feng put down the tea bowl and refused directly. Instead of coming to thank him personally for saving his life, he asked himself to attend the banquet. It felt a bit perfunctory no matter what.
Li Gefei has been an official for many years. Not only is he a treacherous person, but at least he still understands the world. Now that I know some of his secrets, he still chooses to do this, which is a bit intriguing.
"Perhaps the other party did it deliberately to avoid suspicion?"
He was thinking about it, thinking that there was such a possibility. However, he was too lazy to guess the other party's true intentions, and he was free to see it or not.
"Let Tieshan prepare the carriage and horses. I will go to Yunhuan Pavilion later."
Butler Zheng responded respectfully and then slowly stepped back. As he walked into the corridor, he bumped into Xiao Cui who was coming in a hurry.
"Zheng...Grandpa Zheng."
"Girl, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
"No...no, I heard that the young master is back, so..." Xiaocui bowed quickly and explained vaguely.
"Okay, the young master is in the main hall, go quickly."
Xiao Cui secretly stuck out the tip of her tongue and ran away again. Butler Zheng looked at the other party's back and couldn't help but feel a little funny. This girl's temperament is a little out of control and she works in a hurry. It means that the young master has a broad mind and doesn't care about these little details.
She has become a personal maid, so it would be difficult to change her master.
Shaking his head slightly, he continued to move forward unhurriedly.
"Sir, you are back."
In the main hall, Xiaocui trotted in and saw the person drinking tea at a glance. Who could he be if he wasn't his own son?
"Are you awake?"
"Well, thank you for taking care of me, sir."
Xiao Cui replied as softly as a mosquito, as if she was thinking about what happened last night, her cheeks could not help but blush again.
"I'm going out later to find a change of clothes for me."
"I'll go right away."
Hearing that there was serious business, Xiaocui quickly gathered her thoughts and turned around to return to the original path. When she left the main hall, she suddenly thought in her heart that the young master should be going to Yunhuan Pavilion for an appointment, right?
…
The carriage left the alley and entered the horse-drawn street again.
It was early in the morning, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. However, some merchants opened their stores early and were cleaning the front of their shops. There were some brothels with hook-up bars among them. From time to time, slender figures walked out, but they were all
The beautiful maids rolled up their sleeves, revealing their snow-white arms, and poured out the fat and water from the girls' makeup.
Putting down the curtains, Chu Feng couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This comfortable and peaceful living scene was both beautiful and fragile. If there was a little wind or rain, it would collapse and be destroyed in an instant.
Tieshan knew the location of Yunhuan Pavilion, so he arrived at his destination in a very short time and on a familiar road.
"It's Young Master Chu. You are so cruel. Not coming here for such a long time has made my Huan'er lovesick..."
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Madam Lin's soft and waxy voice rang out, and she walked closer, swaying her exquisite and plump figure.
"Is Huan'er awake?" Chu Feng asked directly as if he didn't notice the flirtatious glances from the other party.
"Young Master came just in time, he is dressing up right now." Mrs. Lin smiled charmingly and said,
"You might as well go to the drawing room to drink some tea first, and then I'll go and let you know."
"Okay, I'm sorry."
Chu Feng nodded, and then walked towards the attic under the guidance of the servants. At the same time, a trace of doubt arose in his heart, when did Mr. Lin become so attentive? You know, he has never spent a single penny here.
, but he ate and drank a lot for free. How could he like the other person with his money-grubbing character?
I'm too lazy to draw my eyebrows, and I'm too late to put on makeup and wash up.
Women's dressing up is a very time-consuming task, not to mention that after hearing about his arrival, Yun Huan'er paid more attention to it, and it took him more than an hour to arrive.
"I have met the Lord... Mr. Chu, it is my fault for keeping you waiting for so long." Yun Huan'er bent her knees slightly and said in a sweet voice.
"No need to be polite."
Chu Feng put down the tea cup and subconsciously looked at the other person for a while, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. At this moment, Yun Huan'er concealed her playfulness and once again showed her ladylike side, with an indescribable softness all over her body.
"Good acting skills."
Chu Feng secretly praised in his heart, if he didn't already know about it, who would know what the other person is like inside?
Yun Huan'er smiled slightly, but did not go to the main seat in the center. Instead, she slowly approached, found a seat next to her and sat down. A wisp of fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose, if it was there or not, she didn't know what it was for.
What kind of fragrance powder is it, or is it the other person’s own body fragrance, in short, it makes people feel comfortable.
Chu Feng glanced at the other person, then moved his gaze to a maid behind him.
"Xiao He, please go back to my boudoir and get the silver scales."
"Slave, go right away."
The maid named Xiao He did not dare to hesitate, bowed quickly and left in a hurry.
At this time, Chu Feng just opened his mouth and said:
"You were anxious to find me, but did you get any response?"
"Young Master is right. Just the day before yesterday, that man disguised himself and brought a subordinate to Yunhuan Pavilion in person." Yun Huan'er nodded and continued,
"After seeing the picture of the Flying Immortal, he became extremely excited and immediately revealed his identity to me. Moreover, he also asked me for information about the young master."
"You actually came here in person?"
Chu Feng was slightly surprised. Song Zhezong was currently on the sickbed and at the end of his life. It was a sensitive period. With his identity, he should keep a low profile and wait until the time came. But he didn't expect that he could no longer hold back so quickly.
"It seems that this way of cultivating immortality is not so attractive to him." Chu Feng thought in his mind and asked again,
"How did you reply?"
"According to what you told me before, I only mentioned the first time we met. I don't know the rest." After a pause, Yun Huan'er suddenly said,
"That... Young Master, I took it upon myself to tell him that I have become a registered disciple under your sect. It won't affect you, right?"
"Are you worried about him?"
"He is the prince after all, I..." Yun Huan'er nodded, admitted that he was pretending to be powerful, and then added,
"I could feel that he had such thoughts about me, but he was suppressing it deliberately. Until I revealed that I was your registered disciple, his attitude instantly changed."
"I didn't expect that even in a different world, the great painter's lecherous character would not change at all."
Chu Feng sneered slightly. He was still just a prince now, and it was at a critical period. The other party did not dare to be too presumptuous. When he ascended to the throne, all his true nature would be exposed.
"How about the jade charm I left for you? What's your reaction?"
"I can't explain this clearly. Young master, you should see for yourself." Yun Huan'er took out a palm-sized white token from her arms and handed it over with both hands.
"Hey, is that really the case?" The moment he took the jade talisman, his expression changed slightly and he murmured to himself.
Just at this moment, footsteps came from outside, but Xiao Tao had already returned. Chu Feng came back to his senses and calmly put the talisman into his arms.
"Girl, the silver scales are here."
"It's a pity that I didn't travel during the Double Ninth Festival. The sun is shining brightly today. How about you come with me to the countryside to relax?" Yun Huan'er returned to her ladylike appearance and invited her warmly.
"Chu is very lucky to be able to travel with Miss Yun." Chu Feng faintly noticed that the other party had a slightly cunning mind under his generous appearance, smiled and agreed.
…
Li's Mansion is the same as before.
At this time, Li Qingzhao was sitting in his boudoir, staring at the sunshine outside the window in a daze.
Reading? Not in the mood,
Lyrics? There is no inspiration.
I don't know why, but I feel like I have become a lazy cat. I just want to be in a daze and don't want to do anything. Even moving is troublesome.
He suddenly fell into a coma that day, and only after he woke up did he realize that he had been plotted by a gangster. Fortunately, someone rescued him in time, otherwise he would have been dead long ago.
Death was something she had never thought about when she was in her prime. She had experienced it once, but in her heart she was confused and confused, without any understanding. Now, her body has recovered, but she is not feeling well yet.
She was still a little sick. Therefore, she was immediately grounded by her father and was not allowed to leave the house for several months.
Isn’t it just a matter of being a home girl? For her, this is a common occurrence and it’s no big deal. In the past, she often lost track of time while reading and didn’t step out of the boudoir for several days.
She scratched her bangs in front of her forehead, and for some reason, she suddenly felt an inexplicable irritability in her heart. A familiar yet unfamiliar shadow appeared in her mind again, making her a little uneasy.
"Would you like to go out for some fresh air and meet that person?"
This thought was extinguished as soon as it arose. After all, this was just an extravagant wish. Given my current situation, my father would definitely not allow it.
According to Xiao Huan, that man actually had the identity of a Taoist priest and could fly to the sky and escape from the earth. He also had immortal-like means to get rid of the 'evil things' in his soul, and in this way he could save his life.
But why didn't he see any of it in the past? Moreover, the other party was dying at that time and almost died, but he was still soft-hearted and saved him.
"Buddhism talks about cause and effect, so he and I are destined to be together, right?"
Thinking of this, I felt inexplicably happy, but I couldn't help but smile. I paused, as if I thought of something, and suddenly said,
"By the way, he also asked such a question to embarrass me, which shows that he is not a good person."
He cursed secretly, but it was as thin as a mosquito, and only he could hear it clearly.
"It's been several days, and I don't know where he has been. From what Xiaohuan said, it seems that he has never returned. Could it be that he encountered something important and was delayed?"
The girl was so lovesick that her brows were furrowed but her heart was filled with concern.
He was thinking illogically in his mind, but at this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door, waking him up instantly.
"It's Xiaohuan who's back!" His expression changed, and he turned around to look over. After the door opened, it was Xiaohuan who panted as soon as he came in,
